Not sure why you posted this, but I wouldn’t worry too much about anyone else. Opinions and a-holes really. Plenty of people tell me I’m crazy, weird, annoying, opinionated, etc etc etc.  it used to get to me. No more though. I just say my piece and slide on down the road. 

Your road to this point has been one of insanity honestly. It’s opened my mind to how hard some people have to work just to survive. Don’t let anyone take all of your hard work away from you. But don’t live in it either. 70% of the world lives in the past. 20% live in the future. That leaves 10% that are here now. Staggering really. 10%!! Live for now! Love yourself. Take what you need from your past and push yourself to care about now!! 

Ps there’s nothing wrong with being a class A B!!

Thanks, @Kirsten! Your words mean a lot.

 

I guess my Psychiatrist sparked a few inner concepts I hadn't considered.

 

Looks like FFS is going to head the roster. If insurance will approve then I'll be scheduled.

 

I have maybe 25% of my facial hair removed so far. I wish they would allow more than one treatment per week. A postage stamp area per week is not very much and increases my dysphoria every trip. Public transportation. Never pleasant.

 

It takes awhile to complete total removal. I know that; however, stretching it out so long is tearing me apart mentally. I'm making irrational decisions and dumb mistakes! I got a jaywalking ticket again!

All approved!

 

I'm dancing on sunshine!

Thanks @Ellora!

 

First, I promised myself I would lose the wigs once I was approved for Feminizing surgeries. Done!

 

Second promise is, I will continue shave my head until day of the first surgery. That will be the last day I shave...

 

Here is my most rescent pic taken yesterday!

A brief update...

 

I start groin electrolysis in two weeks. After 5 treatments I see my Surgeon and either set date for vaginoplasty or more electrolysis. I don't have much hair down there anyway so I don't anticipate long.

 

My facial hair is much thinner now growing slower every week... Electrolysis is working!

 

HRT now at 18 months plus.

 

Slow but sure!

 

I now understand the meaning of...

...squeeeeee!

You looked good in that earlier photo.  All my best for your electrolysis treatments.  Fun, I'm sure!  (NOT).  

Yes it is all exciting.  Time will fly through.

 

Cheers, Jani

You look great gal.  I know that look of bald and beautiful quite well but rarely am without my wig.  I have actually gotten used to it over the years but i'm also finding i can accept and smile at the bald head i see at night.  

Best of luck with your upcoming surgery.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

That's great on the hair removal! The one doctor we have in this state requires you to have had electrolysis for a fripping year before he'll perform SRS. Even for someone like me with alopecia... which I am incredibly sensitive about. Though I did have a girlfriend tell me today, "Why did you cover up that beautiful bald head?"

 

Fortunately, I found a doctor who destroys the follicles as part of her procedure. Otherwise that would have been a terrible roadblock.

 

I'm jealous of you both (Michelle and Charlize). I'm nowhere near that confident. I'll stick with my wigs and my headscarf thank you very much. Especially the headscarf. While I'm at the gym, I'm Queen of the Pirates!

My friends all told me to sport the wig. Embrace it. Feel your new found youth...

 

Wooohooo....!

Pow!

Looking good girl!   Once i found a tile i liked i am rarely without mine except at night or when doing heavy work on a hot day by myself.  While i and my wife are comfortable with seeing me without a wig i do not present myself to the world as a chemo patient.  

It took me time to find comfortable in a wig but the years have made that issue disappear.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

You look absolutely incredible, Michelle!  Keep doing what you're doing because it's obviously working for you very well.

 

Thanks for sharing your pics with us,

Susan R?

I have to admit, the only time leave without my wig is when I'm going to get a new one or I have some med/Surg appt...

 

Late I have felt really, really girly...

 

I mean totally squirmy, girly. I would have been wet and slickery as two frogs in a lily pond...!

 

I told my doc that and he said, "your referral was approved." Then he ordered my orchiectomy, penilectomy and vaginaplasty beginning with full body hair removal laser and electrolysis beginning Tuesday.

 

OMG I am Soooo excited?????

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!!

      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.

      Good morning coffees   This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me.  I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that.   upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night.  They woke me up.  They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity.   @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss?  I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way.  If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday.   @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better.     Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more.  I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish.  But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood.     well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work.    willow

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

      They’re not going to stop anytime soon either. Tighten your belts folks were in for a long ride.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷
